NORTH CAROLINA – The N.C. Ferry Division has been working to hire the employees necessary to meet peak summer ferry transportation demand thanks to its concerted recruitment effort. From January through March, the division held career events in Ocracoke, Washington, Southport, Manteo and Hatte ras, with two events held in Morehead City. Many people attended the events, and the division was able to hire 18 qualified applicants. Meanwhile, the Ferry Division is also paying for the preparatory coursework and testing expenses for select ferry crewmembers as they seek to advance their U.S. Coast Guard licensure. Through these efforts, the Ferry Division has helped current employees successfully advance their licensure, allowing them to move up the ranks from Able-Bodied Seamen to Captain or from Oiler to Engineer. The Ferry Division is always looking for new employees to staff its vessels, terminals and shipyard.
